Fair Grounds Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
STEPPING STONES (4) debuted with a win two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when in contention on the corner before winding up in seventh over 1106m at this track, beaten 0.3 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. RANI (6) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1106m at this track (Turf), scoring by 0.3 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and she looks sure to be in the mix. SHE'S A LIVE WIRE (3) turned in a fine effort to win by 0.3 lengths at today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling. HIDDEN MAP (2) finished third last time over 1106m at this track (Turf), beaten 3 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance. Capable of another strong performance.

Raced two times to date. At debut, favourite; won by 1.0 len at this track January 18 over 1106m defeating Spare Me carrying 54.5kg at $13. Second-up sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 7 at this track on February 5 over 1106m, 0.3 len behind She's A Live Wire with 54.5kg at $1.70. Should be right in the finish.
